Hi and Happy Holidays,

What would take to build a fence that cows could not break through or jump
over? We have a recurring problem with a neighbor's cows breaking through
our fence. We are looking for an alternative to an electrified fence (I
posted a separate query about electrified fences the other day.) The
problem area is at most 25..30 feet but we might get by with a 10 foot
section. The fence is at the top of slope which makes it more difficult for
them to jump over it. We have seen them break through and there were more
than on animal pushing. We are in Costa Rica where during the upcoming dry
season the pool and irrigated plants will be irresistible.

Thanks,
Gary

I would bet that a 6 foot high wood fence that the cows could
not see thru would do the trick. They tend to go thru places
that they can see thru. Around here, such a fence would cost
a bit over $100 if installed yourself, and it doesn't have to be
substantial, --- just something that blocks their view....
As a plus, you could decorate the "inside" part part with
hanging plants, or shelves, or whatever.
You could paint the "outside" pink, to **** off your neighbor....
